183 - Amon Amarth Cry Of The Black Birds 2006

Viking metal is used to describe a band's lyrical content rather than on the music itself. "With Oden On Our Side" is Amon Amarth's sixth full-length release. "Cry Of The Black Birds"´s introduction is very slow and weak, until it just explodes with Johan Hegg yelling "Attack!". Amazing drumming, guitar, hell every instrument is going at full capacity. Then we get to probably the most epic portion of the entire album, the extremely powerful chorus. The guitars are doing insane speeds on single strings, the drums have immense intensity and along Johan's powerful vocals it just makes it all that much better. This song simply tells the story of men charging into battle with no fear. Completely amazing track.
